In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
